Civic leaders on the Rocky Boy's reservation hosted a grand opening of the Miyo Pimatisiwinkamik Youth Wellness Center on Friday, March 27, 2026.
The new facility will provide a safe and welcoming environment where youth can engage in healthy activities, socialize with their peers, participate in cultural events, and take part in educational programming.

They will also have access to mental health support, school-based care, wellness, food program, dental health and screening, and maternal health.
Joel Rosette, CEO of Rocky Boy Health Center, said, “This center is grounded in returning to the strengths of our ancestors to build healthy relationships, establish strong community connections, and foster resiliency among our youth as they prepare for the future.”
Civic leaders note that the facility is being opened in phases: "We are opening in phases so we can do this the right way for our youth, families, and community. This space was created with care and we want to make sure every part of it is ready to truly serve you."
